His opponent, Dustin Poirier, also brought home $40,000, as did main-card winner Tom Lawlor.

UFC president Dana White announced the bonus amounts following the card, which took place at Patriot Center in Fairfax, Va., and aired on FUEL TV and streamed on Facebook.

Jung, of course, entered his main-event fight with Poirier as a heavy underdog. However, “The Korean Zombie” turned in his third-straight legendary UFC performance, following up a twister win over Leonard Garcia and a seven-second knockout of Mark Hominick with a rousing back-and-forth battle that ended with a fourth-round submission via D’arce choke.

A potential “Fight of the Year” candidate, Jung and Poirier each netted a share of the evening’s “Fight of the Night” bonus. Jung also took home the “Submission of the Night” award.

Meanwhile, Lawlor celebrated his 29th birthday with a 50-second knockout of longtime veteran Jason MacDonald. The night’s only knockout win took home the evening’s “Knockout of the Night” award by default, but the brutal finish would have been a candidate regardless.
